Kent Gade, President, opened the program with a sincere thank you to all donors. “Because of you, we have provided over $1.3 million dollars’ worth of new equipment, services and education to the Health System so we can better serve our communities.”

Chief Executive Officer Todd Hudspeth remarked on past purchases including a surgical table, the Healing Garden, equipment for Physical Therapy, Cardiac Rehab and Outpatient Clinics, and fetal monitors – all purchased with funds from the CCHS Foundation. “Also this year, because of a thoughtful and generous bequest from James E. and Gertrude B. Hunt we were able to purchase the needed equipment for our in-house orthopedist, Dr. Edward Fisher,” Todd shared. “This gift had great forethought and meaning from a couple who understood the importance of giving back to their community.”
